Mission

The mission of Fiddlers Green Contra Dance is to perpetuate the pleasures of contra dancing and music making by:

  • hosting regular contra dances at the Munson Library in South Amherst, Massachusetts;
  • presenting great callers to lead dances that are friendly and fun for new and experienced dancers; and
  • encouraging musicians of varying skill levels to sit in with a core of master musicians.
